Well that is a good question. If you have a few to choose from you could do as you did before by going on your gut feelings or you make a few appointments and be perfectly honest and tell the therapist your situation with the other therapist and that before you get into depth with them you want to know more about them and their ideas of therapy. Each therapist has their own style.
Ask them how they feel is the best way to approach your kind of situation, without being specific, just give a general and tell the therapist you are being general. And if they ask you to be more specific stay in your comfort zone.

You just never know what you may learn from a different therapists point of view.
Each therapist draws on experiences with previous clients and they slowly develope ways they feel are most helpful in addressing issues better. That is why the call it a practice, they practice psychology and even though they have studied psychology they all practice methods and apply their own style to the therapy. That is why it is good to meet with more than one. Each one is unique just as all people are unique.
